Women's memoirs in early nineteenth century France

Although historians have acknowledged the importance of gender as a factor in the social and political life of post-revolutionary France, and bibliographical studies have revealed that vast quantities of memoirs were composed during the half century after the outbreak of the Revolution, the lives of women between the late 1790s and the 1830s, and the works in which they wrote about their lives and about the age in which they lived, have hitherto attracted relatively little attention from literary critics and historians. Previous research, moreover, has concentrated on women as writers of poetry and fiction, on the portrayal of women in novels, and on their position in society as it was defined by legislators, doctors, philosophers and the authors of manuals on female education and conduct. As a result, the diversity of women's writing and the complexity of their lives as historical subjects during this period have often been obscured. It is this diversity and complexity which are revealed by studying memoirs. This thesis examines women's memoirs from both a literary and a historical perspective, focusing on the relationship between gender, genre and historical circumstances. It argues that women wrote memoirs and wrote them in the way they did because of the political and social conditions of the age in which they lived. A short introduction outlines the reasons why the memoirs written by women in the first decades of the nineteenth century have been neglected: the preoccupation of literary scholars with memoirs of the ancien regime; the memoir's apparent lack of depth compared to 'true' or 'literary' autobiography; the weakness of most women's memoirs as sources of information on political and military affairs for the Revolution and Empire; and the narrow focus of recent women-centred histories. The rest of the thesis is an attempt to fill in some of these gaps

Caste and sect in an Assamese village.

The thesis is concerned with the relations between the Vaishnava devotional movement and the caste order in Assam. The first part is a village study in which caste is analysed with reference to economic differentiation, kinship, affinity and food transactions within the context of local sectarian organization. The second part examines the nature of the caste process in historical perspective and discusses both the traditional institutions and beliefs of the sect and the impact upon these institutions of the new reform movements which have arisen since the 1930s. The object of the thesis is to describe the beliefs and practices of one regional variant of the many devotional sects based on the teachings of the Bhagavata Purana with specific reference to its complex and changing relations with the caste order
